Lord o., an Englishman, was very
rough and imperious man, also quite deaf.
He was riding along one day in post chaise,
asleep. when he was stopped by a robber on
horseback, who awoBe him. "What do you
wantT said Lord o., angrily. Money
my lord" what soney: Are you rob
berl Are you the rascal who has just awolle
me so suddenly" Come, be quick!' said the
highwayman ~ have no time to lose; l
must have your purse" "My purseP ex-
claimed Lord O.; "indeed, you shall not
have it. Really, you carry on a fine trade"
He pulled out his purse, which was full, and
with his finger and thumb deliberately took
ont two guineas, which be gave to the rob
Der. There, that's enough for scoundrel
like YOU; | hope to see you hanged some Of
these daysw Lord o. coolly put up his
purse, still calling him rascal and scoun-
drel. and repeating that re hoped TO see him
ranged soon. The robber was 50 much awed
by the others manner that he did not venture
to insist on bis demand for the purse, though
me had a pistol in his hand to enforce it, and

His honor took off his glasses and asked:
Mr.. Bebee, Irecognize your signals, etcetera,
but cannot for the life Of me recollect the
order: so many, you know"
II am surprised, brother, greatly sur
prised," remarked the prisoner. 81 never
knew a candidate who ever forgot his initia-
ton into the United Order of Benevolent Sons
of Good Fellowship of the Temple of Solo
mon," and he gave the hailing sign with en-
bellishments
"Ah, yes; | had it mixed up with the An
Gent Order of Old Billygoats," exclaimed his
honor. do you recognize this sign, brother|
and he dipped his pen in the red ink and held
it up"
1T isn't in the ritual. is it," asked the pris-
oner, as he rubbed his head.
1T means, Mr.. Bebee, that the court has
dropped onto your little racket" sternly re-
piled his honor Then picking up blotter,
he waved it in a circle and said; "Does this
sign seem familiar to youl"
Don't recollect it," meekly responded the
accused.
"Well, as l interpret it, it means that
YOU get three months. Now give the part

Donkey parties are the latest thing in the
way Of a social gathering in milwaukee. A
large slihoutte representing a tailless donkey
is cut out Of paper or cloth and fastened upon
the wall To each guest are given cambric
tail and a pin. Then they are hlindfolded, one
By one, placed in a corner opposite the donkey,
Whirled three times around, and then started
On blind search for the donkey, upon which,
if they reachit, the tail is to be pinned If the
guest goes in another direction and stumbles
against a wall, door, chair, or anything else,
there he must leave the tail The movements
IF the blindfolded are apt TO be ludicrous.
The person who makes the best effort TO place
the tail upon the donkey where it belongs re-
seives present of some kind, whhe the guest
who makes the most unsuccessful effort gets
the BOBBY prize.-New York Sun.

He was bearded man and his breath was
redolent with cloves and gin. Once upon
time he had endeavored TO tram his hair into
pompadour and partially succeo led. But
only partially, for oue-half stood up like
undying Truth, while the rest pointed to all
directions Of the marine compass. He wore
winning smile and evidently intended TO
captivate his honor with glance But his
honor wasn't TO be captivated and the pris-
oner soon found IL out. Then he started off
on rev tack. Laying down his hat softly,
he slowly elevated his right hand TO his ear
and bowed three times solemlly. Then he
laid his left hand on his stomach and his right
hand on his head and began working them
circularly. His honor put on his glasses and
looked down solemnly at the prisoner. That
individual stepped backward three PAGES,
three more TO the left and back again. de-
scrbing a triangle. Ia a low voice he whis-
pered:
Brother, do you recognize the hailing
signp
His honor nodded and turned over a leaf Oh
the docket. The man at the bar then tapped
his forehead three times, and elevated his
arms over his head, saying: "Tne signal of
distress, brother" The court merely bowed.

"What are you dOingp asked a
citizen of ~ young man who had a

ing braSSw was the fierce reply.
A little child Of Mr.. Leonce
Mollerere, of Donaldsonville, died
from the effects of stepping npon A
crawfiSh with his barefoot . faN
days ago. The slight wound
inflicted by the sharp pointed
projection from the erawtish's head
produced lockjaw, with tho usual
fatal result.
A gentleman of an Investigating
turn of mind has taken the trouble
to ascertain accurately how many
days the children of Mexico lost
from school during 1886. Here is
the result: 90 Sundays, 26 Saturdays,
4 national feast days, 40 days of
vacation, and 80 Catholic holidays
making Il total OF III days, and
leaving only 1SS school days.
Not long ago The Secretary and
Treasurer of one of the largest
street car lines in PittSburg was
taken i'll, and his daughter under
took TO manage his business. She
kept the books in good shape,
attended to the collection Of money
paid the employees, and bought
feed and stock for the company.
She did so well that when her
father died the company elected her
to I'LL the position permanently.
